Oh man. Have to make a cut. Probably Glory. Man that movie makes me cry. Yeah but Caddyshack makes me laugh. Maybe Dances with Wolves. It's way too long. Call it a tie to be decided by future events. The Passion is probably a dark horse that can't crack the list. The movie Tebow will surely kick one of these to the curb, but that isn't scheduled out for about a decade.

To me I think it's worth pointing out various breakthrough type movies that just broke the mold or brought in new eras

Nightmare Before ChristmasPulp Fiction...is this the first film that starts in the middle?Jurassic Park...first realistic use of cgi that fooled yaBig FishPsycho...first film that killed off the star fairly early in the filmCitizen Kane...isn't this the first movie that starts at the end?Star Wars....first futuristic film that takes place in the pastBorat....I'm sorry but a Jew egg is just genius.The Matrix...technically the movie starts inside a computer programLOTR....just...wowET and Sound of Music....I kinda think these movies subtly changed the potential role of kids in movies. Moved them to the role of mega-protagonistLawrence of Arabia....first epic. First film that makes you sweat even if you're in an igloo with a tshirtSingin in the Rain and West Side Story...how you can have that much talent on one screen is beyond meBenjamin Button

I have no argument with the people that go with Godfather over Godfather 2. The AFI did that. Both movies are excellent excellent. But how does Godfather 1 beat Godfather 2? What does it have or do that the other one doesn't? Is it just more enjoyable? Was the Miami/Cuba thing too distracting? Is 2 just less romantic and enjoyable? Less New York? What's the theory there?

I loved 1 but enjoyed 2 more. But it's splitting hairs in my opinion. Both are phenomenal. Also (IMO) 3 is the largest drop off of any sequal in movie history. Not that 3 is the worst sequal movie in history (there have been some incredibly bad sequals), but in terms of drop-off I think it takes the prize. From best ever stratosphere (1 and 2) to somewhere between mediocre and poor (3).
